But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds, I will write them,” then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. “Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”

Hebrews 10: 15 to 23

Christ took away Sin and Death

One of the major problems facing the church in these times is not to believe what God says in His Word, and often prevail the thoughts and reasoning, leaving aside the truth that across its God communicates.

We are living through a period in which the church, I don’t not what causes; it seems that the believer is more pleasing to know that you are a sinner and that is not a free man. Crowds of men and women who have believed in Christ who have been baptized and received the Holy Spirit, are declared sinners and do not believe what God says that Jesus Christ did on the cross. What we want to do through this literature is showing no error, that the sin before God, to those who believe in Christ, does not exist.

“The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world “ John 1:29

We see in this passage that when John saw Jesus coming toward him, declare to all that were with him:

“This is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world”

Why John said it took off and did not remove?

He had a revelation from God that Jesus would take away the sin of the world, but Christ had not died yet, so I said “the lamb who takes away”. When Jesus went to the cross is loaded on all the sin of the world and yet Christ is made ​​sin. That’s where God bestows upon the person of Jesus Christ, all the anger against sin and even more, executes the same sin on the cross.

The apostle Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:21:

“Him who knew no sin, we did sin, that we might become Justice of God in the”

This shows us that the sin problem was solved by God with Christ on the cross, there to execute the sins and even the same sin.

“Otherwise, it would have been necessary suffer often since the beginning of world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared once for all by the sacrifice of himself to remove middle sin” Hebrews 9:26

Here we see that the writer of Hebrews says: “Jesus for the sacrifice of himself, showed up out of the way for sin “

If this were not so, Christ could not have reconciled all things to God. Then John says: “That takes away the sin”

The writer to the Hebrews: “That take from the midst the sin”

The question then is: Why Christians speak both of sin? This is because they have not washed their consciences with the blood of Christ; do not believe what God says in His Word.

In John 1:12 and 13 the apostle John says:

“… That those who received him were given the power to become children of God, which were begotten by God …”

How can anyone, having been a sinner, become a child of God, unless it dies and is born again? God cannot have fathered a sinner. In Ephesians 2:10, the apostle Paul tells us that we are God’s workmanship; we were created in Christ Jesus unto good works.

Begotten of God, God’s workmanship, created in Christ!

How do Christians say they are sinners? So, we see that the church of today unknown that has two natures, one the Adamic, where we were born, and the other that God has given us for the new birth.
The apostle Paul tells us that our old man was crucified, that is, that God sees us as dead in Christ on the cross.

“What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? in any manner. We who died to sin; How can we live in it? Do you not know that all those who have been baptized into Christ Jesus, were baptized into his death? Therefore, we are buried with him to death baptism, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we should walk in newness of life. For if we planted together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in their resurrection, knowing this, that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, so not serve sin. For he that has died has been freed from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe, live with Him, knowing that Christ, having raised from the dead, dies no death no more dominion over him. The death he died, He died to sin once for all, but as lives, He lives to God. So, you also dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. It therefore reigns the sin in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts nor present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves themselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments justice. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under the law, but under grace. “ Romans 6:1 to 14

It shows in these passages that the old man was crucified, dead and buried, and we have risen to a new life. Now look, if you do not believe in the work that Christ did on the cross and declare ourselves sinners, how can we live a life of righteousness?

When we accept what the apostle Paul says in Romans 5:1, that we were justified by faith, then we look at the old man (who by faith is dead to God, but is the place where we live), and we see that he wants to enslave us into believing that we are not what God says.

But when by faith we believe that the new man, then we see the old man with the works of the flesh haunt us not to believe what God says about us, which is why the apostle Paul, after declaring in the passages we have read, that the old man died, this crucified and buried, he says in verse 11 that we too must consider ourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

“Sin shall not have dominion among you because we are not under law but under grace” Romans 6:14

So, we see that God has done on the cross with Christ, so that those who we have believed, live and grow in this new life we have received. But if we do not believe that we were justified (which means we were absolved of guilt and responsibility before God), we looked as guilty before Him, but when we believe we are the new man, our conscience is washed from the guilt of sin and see the old man’s actions (the Bible calls dead works), as an enemy that haunts us, but who can never catch up. If we got rid of the guilt of sin never reach that spiritual stature, God says that we must achieve, being like Christ in everything.

“… Until we all reach unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” Ephesians 4:13

This is what God expects of us who have believed in Christ Jesus: Reaching the spiritual stature and become like his Son Jesus Christ. God has given us the life of His Son to live it, to enjoy, and teach others.

While believers acknowledge that they are sinners will always find a way how to stop being one, which is a mistake, because no one alone can get rid of this. For this reason, it is introduced in the church many erroneous doctrines seeking deliverance from sin, when Christ on the cross and he succeeded.

Repentance and confession of the Christian makes his faults (which are actually the works of the flesh manifested in the old man), do nothing but show who do not believe in the Word of God and make known his guilt before Him.

If sin separates man from God, how can Christians who have the Holy Spirit, they separate the Spirit that came out of God? Those who confess their guilt, they may say that they are the new man? Can man born in justice and holiness of truth, sin?

“With regard to your former way of life, to put the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, created according to God in righteousness and holiness of truth” Ephesians 4:22 to 24

This is the reason why, many are possessed by demons, as saying that they are sinners the master of them is the devil. However, if we confess that we are the new man, never a demon can enter because Christ defeated on the cross. If sin separates man from God, what is the place of those who claim to be sinners?
The apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12:27: “Now you are the body of Christ, and members in particular”

Can a member of the body of Christ be a sinner? If you do not believe God has justified, if not believe in the liberty wherewith Christ has made them free are not members of the body of Christ. How will they be the Bride of the Lamb? Beloved, God in Christ Jesus has freed us from the powers of darkness and made us sit with Christ in heavenly places, which means that with Him we exalted:

“And hath raised us up and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6

Why do not we talk about what we are truly in Christ Jesus today and we decided to practice what the Bible teaches about the good? This will Christ be formed in us. Nobody can stop doing wrong and then seek to do good, the only way to overcome evil is doing good (Romans 12:21).

We must be careful, because if Paul says “… do not be overcome by evil” means that because of our carnal nature (in which nothing has changed and there is only one thing in it that pleases God) will always try to us believe that we can never live the life that pleases God.

Therefore, we must be attentive to every situation that occurs in us, and be vigilant to understand which of the two natures comes from what we have done, if it’s something that does not, please God, we did not due, and so we must reject and change of attitude.

Evil cannot deprive us to do good. Thousands of ministers have serrated heaven to those who have believed, when God through Christ has opened. So, we must rely on the word of God which says in Philippians 1:6.

“… Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you, completion until the day of Jesus Christ”

-In whom God began the good work? – Does the old man he killed? O Does the new man that He created?
The apostle Paul said: “Take heed that no man deceives you“ Colossians 2:8

We must not believe, for most who try to prove that we are sinners, because no one with the Word of God can show what we are in Christ we are sinners. We must believe what God says we are and strive with diligence, striving in His grace, attain the development of this beautiful life God has given us in Christ.

The doctrines of liberation what for who they are?

Today we can see in many churches are taught doctrines of liberation, however, we thought that we died and born again.

Christians do not need to be liberated, but believe what Christ purchased on the cross for them. There doctrine that Christians make every day feel more guilty and are taken by deceit, telling them to be delivered from the works which the apostle Paul teaches in his Letter to the Galatians 5:16 to 21.

“I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you will not the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are opposed to each other, to prevent you from doing what that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Works are manifest of meat, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; about which I forewarn you just as I have said before, that those who practice such things not inherit the kingdom of God “

The works of the flesh are no spirit although rebuke will never come out, only doing good God tells us in His Word we that they become ineffective. The faith and the knowledge of the truth of God lead us to be free of them; therefore, the apostle Paul gives them as works of the flesh, which says they are manifest in the natural man. Many use the wiles of error, some by unknowns, trying to free the Christians of these things, which never achieved, only by faith, believing in the work of Christ on the cross, they can.

Who has saved us and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to the purpose and his grace which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought to light life and immortality through the gospel” 2 Timothy 1:9-10

In these passages the apostle Paul, who has full disclosure of the work of Christ on the cross shows us that grace, in which we are, we were granted before the world began, that your call was not according to our works, but according to God’s purpose.

– Before the times eternal? This means that before Adam was in paradise, God had chosen us, so we should not be fooled, we are not sinners, we are holy and righteous before God. Besides the apostle Paul says that Christ abolished death, John said takes away sin, the writer to the Hebrews put away sin from among, but here the apostle Paul goes much further and speaks of Jesus abolished death and brought light life and immortality. The Scripture says that because of sin brought death into the world.

“… Therefore, just as sin entered the world by one man, and death through sin, and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned” Romans 5:12

And, says the wages of sin is death. If Christ abolished death for God means that sin no longer exists. The church was not given solve the problem of sin, but she was born after God, by Christ on the cross, you will find the solution to this problem affecting all men and which alone no one could escape. If death was defeated is because he has no power over us, if we were sinners we would not have won and we would be waiting to collect his victim.

So, beloved, let us rejoice and be glad before the Lord, believe in the work of Christ on the cross because we are his body and made ​​to proclaim the praises of Him who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter 2: 9). Because we were predestined by God before the foundation of the world to achieve the image of his Son.

“For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren” Romans 8:29

My hope and my wish are that everyone who reads this literature seizes this blessed freedom with which Christ has made us free (Galatians 5:1) and begin to live by faith this new wonderful and glorious life that God in Christ Jesus has given us. The truth discovers the deception, and that is my wish: that the truth of this holy word of God to work in each of you, so that never again be a yoke of slavery. That my loved God and my Lord Jesus Christ, through his Holy Spirit, will convince of this exaltation to which He has led us.

I embrace you in the love of Jesus
